Energy extraction from a rotating black hole via magnetic reconnection: Bumblebee gravity

The study investigates energy extraction from rotating black holes using magnetic reconnection within a Kerr-Sen-like spacetime derived from Bumblebee gravity. The research found that increasing the rate of Lorentz symmetry breaking and Bumblebee charge enhances energy extraction, pushing it closer to the center. The most favorable configuration for this process aligns with scenarios where the cosmic censorship hypothesis is marginally not violated.
